... Iraq. This factionalism may also have accounted for the CIA target set that resulted in the whoopsy-daisy destruction of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during the Kosovo conflict. Meanwhile, Mr. Hambling also asks why fuel air explosives were used in Operation Black Cat. One explanation might be that planners were concerned that a residue of VX nerve agent might have been blown back towards coalition troops and, therefore, utilised air fuel explosives to incinerate every last surviving particle of nerve agent. The best approach for Mr. Hambling, as for Mr. Hollick [see Lobster 38 ], is to approach Tim Sebastian, the former BBC Correspondent who investigated Black Cat, and to also ...

... a desire to protect President Nixon. It indicates, I believe, an understanding at high levels, that when right-wing CIA assets are formally 'disposed of', their potential usefulness to other employers should not be diminished. Take for example, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) itself which now employs somewhere between 50 and 100 CIA agents in addition to Conein and his twelve assassins. Of all the 'White House horrors' to come out of the so-called 'plumbers' in Room 16, DEA is perhaps the most dangerous. A super-agency, whose very statutory authority is open to challenge, it has been plagued from the outset with serious charges of illegal ...

And doesn't Chapman Pincher talk of 60 plus in his various books? Confirmation - if any were still needed - of the grotesque time-wasting that goes on under the ...

... MP Philip Oppenheim have also been involved in the affair. The total cost of their activities, including the cost of some large-scale abortive police corruption investigations, Inland Revenue operations, vast legal costs and heavy financial damage suffered personally by Oyston appears to be more than £250 million. The former fish and chip shop owner and insurance agent Michael Murrin claims that his allegations of corruption at Preston Council prompted Operation Angel, a £25 million inquiry during which the Lancashire Constabulary Commercial Fraud Squad raided the town hall and illegally raided the homes of its leader and deputy leader, Labour councillors Harold Parker and Frank McGrath - both friends of Owen Oyston. Although the raids occurred in ...

... He continues: 'However, because of evidential difficulties arising from still-unex-plained cover-ups, it remains uncertain whether he acted alone or in concert with others. Whatever the truth is, it seems likely that Kennedy may have contributed, unwittingly, to his own death. Those who mixed in Oswald's demi-monde of KGB agents and Cuban exiles..... ' We've had supporters of Castro and now he gives us KGB agents! Which ones, Professor? The only KGB agent in the story that I can recall is the KGB officer Kostikov who was under diplomatic cover in the Soviet embassy in Mexico City. Oswald - or someone pretending to be ...

' The agent was Gunter Guillaume, special assistant to the West German Chancellor Willy Brandt. On 24 April 1974 Guillaume was arrested as an East German spy. On 6 May 1974 Brandt, a friend of Wilson, resigned, ostensibly as a result of revelations about Guillaume.(2 ) We know of ...

... . The author clearly believes this was a bad thing and goes to ingenious lengths via selective quotations to show that the big bogey figure of 1939/45 was Winston Churchill....duping Roosevelt....duping Stalin.......pointlessly intransigent toward Hitler etc. Kilzer's theory that Bormann was a Communist agent has actually been around since the early 1950s. (9 ) No evidence has ever been produced to substantiate this view. His book is basically a study of the 'Red Orchestra', an area already covered in detail. The author shows that this was, indeed, a very big spy ring. (The CIA were still investigating ...

... is very interesting and probably important. There are a lot of striking leads in here, none of which are good news for the police or MI5; so it's not too surprising that he has been largely blanked by the major media, even though they are fascinated by spies and Symonds is the only British citizen to act as a KGB agent and return to tell the tale. Symonds was a detective in London in the late 1960s and early 1970s, at the time when the Metropolitan Police was seriously corrupt in places, and, on his account, riddled with Freemasonry.1 Bits of the Met joined forces with the then illegal porn industry, regulating it essentially: deciding ...
